Знаменский собор, Orthodox cathedral in Yelets, Russia.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Sign stands in the center of Yelets with three halls, high brick walls, and a three-tiered iconostasis.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1745 under architect Konstantin Ton's design and took 44 years to complete, finally opening its doors in 1889.
The interior walls display 220 religious paintings created by Russian artists, representing significant Orthodox Christian scenes and traditions.
The cathedral remains an active religious center where visitors can attend Orthodox services and explore the religious architecture of central Russia.
During the Soviet period, the cathedral closed in 1934 and endured substantial damage before reopening to worshippers in 1947.
